Sean Payton links upcoming election to needed change

SmashMouth · 06-02-2020, 02:27 PM

Most members of the NFL community who have spoken out about recent events have done so apolitically, giving statements that don’t mention any particular election or elected official. Saints coach Sean Payton has made a different kind of statement.

Payton today posted two pictures on Twitter, one of George Floyd and one of Ahmaud Arbery, and wrote a brief statement that referenced the upcoming election.

“Were Murdered not Killed on Video. How many have we not seen? 22 weeks from today for change,” Payton wrote.

Sean Payton is comically ignorant. I have zero respect left for him.

Do we agree that the areas minorities are in have been targeted and police abuse occurs in those areas (as it does in others to a lesser extent)?

Keep in mind those areas, have been governed by democrats for 60+ years. If people want change, they need to vote for different local politicians.

Minneapolis:
Mayor- Democrat
City council- Democrat
DA- Democrat
Governor- Democrat

It's been that way for decades... and their answer... keep voting for the same thing. It's no different around other metro-cities.

So, I agree with Sean if he is talking about real change that matters, but he isn't and doesn't really care.

Unfortunately, we can't elect policemen.

By that reasoning Trayvon Martin & Michael Brown were Obama's fault.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who can say the same about you.

All things considered, that would get screwed up as well.

	The Saints are 0-42 when running the ball less than 15 times in a game.
